College Football Week 11 Props – Friday 11/13/26
UCLA vs. Illinois: Wayne Knight 90+ Rushing Yards (+100)
Wayne Knight is a major reason for UCLA’s incredible success this season. The James Madison transfer ranks 24th in the nation in rushing yards and seventh in rushing touchdowns. He should be in for a big game on Friday night against Illinois. The Fighting Illini rank 121st in the nation in adjusted defensive EPA/play and 131st in defensive success rate this season. UCLA should be able to move the ball against this very vulnerable defense.
Many high-level running backs have hit this 90-yard mark against Illinois this season. Oregon’s Jordon Davison, Michigan State’s Jaziun Patterson and Duke’s Nate Sheppard all rushed for at least 90 yards against the Illini. UCLA wants to run the football. The Bruins are ranked 101st in offensive passing success rate and 30th in offensive rushing success rate. They know what they do well and should feed Knight early and often in this game. Knight has cleared this number in five of his past eight contests and should do so against Illinois, as well.
Houston at Colorado: Conner Weigman Anytime Touchdown (-135)
Conner Weigman is quietly having one of the best seasons of any quarterback in the country. The veteran signal-caller has Houston in position to contend for the Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff spot down the stretch. Houston ranks sixth in the nation in adjusted offensive EPA/play and second in offensive success rate. Weigman is tied for fourth in the nation in total touchdowns, having thrown for 22 and rushed for seven more. He also ranks fifth in the nation in QBR, getting it done through the air and on the ground.
Weigman should have a lot of success against Colorado on Friday night. Weigman rushed for a score last week against Cincinnati and should find pay dirt against Colorado, as well. This Colorado defense has combusted at times this season against good offenses, giving up 57 points to Oklahoma State and 41 points to Northwestern. This Houston offense is one of the best in the nation and should get plenty of scoring opportunities. Weigman should turn at least one of those red zone trips into a rushing score for himself.
Florida State at Pittsburgh: Ashton Daniels 46+ Rushing Yards (-117)
Ashton Daniels has had a rollercoaster of a season, as has this entire Florida State team. The results have been nowhere near good enough for the Seminoles, which resulted in Mike Norvell losing his job. However, Florida State also put real scares into the best teams on their schedule, including Alabama, SMU and Miami. This team has the talent to play up to good opponents, but will also play down to bad opponents. They did finally get a road win in the conference last week against BC, so maybe they will close the season strong with interim head coach Rick Stockstill.
Ashton Daniels has relied on his legs a lot this season. The passing game has been quite inconsistent for the Seminoles, so Daniels has often resorted to scrambling for yards. Daniels has double-digit rushing attempts in six out of nine games played. He has 13 rushing touchdowns this season, only one fewer than he has passing. He should be forced to use his legs a lot in this game.
This Pittsburgh defense is elite against the run, ranking fourth in defensive EPA/rush nationally. It might seem counterintuitive, but that could be a positive for this pick. Pittsburgh has stuffed the traditional run game this season. Daniels should be forced to drop back in passing situations at a very high rate because of that, and that is when Daniels can break out of the pocket and scramble. Florida State will also need to be more creative in the run game, which could lead to more designed run calls for Daniels, as well.
